New signing Dominic Iorfa has revealed former Owls defender Danny Batth was a big factor in his decision to join the Championship club.

The right-back, a deadline day acquisition from Wolverhampton Wanderers, admits he has talked extensively to Batth about Wednesday and life in South Yorkshire in recent years. The duo played alongside each other at Molineux.

Centre-half Batth, now at Stoke City, enjoyed two loan spells with Wednesday earlier in his career. He was an influential figure in the 2012 promotion-winning team as the Owls pipped arch rivals Sheffield United to second spot.

Iorfa told The Star: "Danny Batth was my captain at Wolves and he only spoke good things about the club. He sold it to me as well.

"He enjoyed it here a lot and made some good friends. He said the fanbase was really good and only had good things to say about the club."
